Algebra.Com's Answer #457002 by timvanswearingen(106)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Your midpoint is another ordered pair (x,y)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Add up the x-coordinates and divide by 2, add up the y-coordinates and divide by 2.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x:(5+8)/2 = 13/2\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y:(6+2)/2 = 8/2 = 4\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the midpoint is (13/2 , 4) \n" ); document.write( " |
